Prominent Mentions
In the March 20, 2006 issue, TIME magazine interviewed Chuck Norris, calling him an "online cult hero." In the answer to their last question, he called the Chuck Norris Facts "weird but wildly popular sayings" and quoted one: "Chuck Norris can divide by zero."
In 2011, a commercial for World of Warcraft featured Chuck Norris and included its own "Chuck Norris facts" in the dialogue.
During the movie The Expendables 2 in a fight scene, all the enemies suddenly die as well as a tank blows up. Barney Ross' (Sylvester Stallone) crew was left puzzled. Out walks Booker played by Chuck Norris, essentially playing off of the Chuck Norris facts that he is a super human and destroys everything he sees fit. During the same dialog scene Sylvester Stallone's character says to Chuck Norris' character "I heard you got bit by a cobra" to which Chuck Norris responds, "yeah but after 5 agonizing days the cobra died" again a play off of the Chuck Norris facts.
